I moved here a couple of years ago and tried the usual stuff, classes, Duolingo, "nej", "i lige måde" at the supermarket kind of conversations. I´m now improving my listening skills by watching comedy shows (i even built an app to help me track my listening skills by the punchline) because that´s what I love to do, but Danish comedy at full speed is a lot to take in.

Which copenhagen comedians do people here recommend going to watch for someone who's learning danish and can follow slow-speaking comedians?

I´ve been in the tech industry for 5 years, jumping between jobs to maange to increase my salary, becuase every time the previous employe would say there was no budget. However I just didn´t have the right negotiaiton skills. I was the typicla person that was afraid to talk about money, and asking for a raise was what i hoped my manager would do for me.
So i read a few books, started a negotiation club. and the moved job again, so i lost my partners. so i built a tool with AI (would have never been able to do it before) and i´ve pracitice negotiatoin netchnique like they´re reps, just to make me feel more comfortable talking about it and asking the right questions and making the right statements. From next month on, i´ll have my first salary raise without switching companies!

I´ve been preparing my business case for getting a promotion and I´ve been practicing negotiation techniques online (the courses were too expensive) to feel more comfortable when being in the same room with my manager and start the conversation about a salary increase.
The best advice I wish I knew sooner, was what I learnt from the book "never split the difference" to get the counterpart to say "no" more often, so that you can better understand the whys and reasonings, so that your counter argumenet can "better speak their langunage". It´s hard to remember to focus on that, especially when you´re in the middle of the conversation, but the more you practice, the more it becomes just the drill and easier to focus on the other, other than on your own goal and narrative.

Just my 5 cents. Thought someone might need to be reminded about it.

anyone has courses to recommend to take in-person in Copenhagen to improve negotiation skills that don´t cost an arm and a leg?
